Hello!

Up until recently, I had been working on a game for S4D, which looked like this:

My aim was to invoke that feeling of thinking-you-know-what-will-happen-next. For example; when you suddenly get the thought that the phone will ring, and a few seconds later it does. Or simply that feeling of something-bad-is-gonna-happen.

I achieve this effect by showing the user a series of events at the beginning of the game. Then, as the user progresses through the game, they find these events occur to them but in reverse order. The further they progress, the harder it will be to remember the events they were shown. This should then create the feeling of subconsciously knowing the outcome of situations presented to them.

That's the plan anyway.

The black and white art style gave me other ideas though. I went off on a tangent and created a completely different game: Graphical Error!

It's hard to do this game justice with just screenshots. Apart from level 1, you can only tell what is happening when everything is in motion.

All the graphics are white noise (in varying ratios/offsets/phases). As a consequence, I find it leaves me feeling quite nauseous, and gives me a headache if I play for too long.

If that sounds fun, you can try it for yourself! Download "Graphical Error"

I'm also working on another black and white game (which fortunately does not cause nausea etc).
